In the event of an accident, compensation will be paid by the insurance company.<\/p>\n<p>This coverage is typically divided into the following four categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Property Damage Coverage<\/strong>: When you damage someone else\u2019s property, such as a house, guardrail, or signboard.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Vehicle Damage Coverage<\/strong>: When you damage or dirty the rental car you are using.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Bodily Injury Liability Coverage<\/strong>: When a pedestrian is injured or killed due to your driving.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Personal Injury Coverage<\/strong>: When the driver or passengers are injured.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, in the case of passenger injury, companies such as ORIX Rent-A-Car and Times Car Rental provide coverage up to approximately <strong>30 million yen per person<\/strong>, while Nissan Rent a Car offers up to around <strong>50 million yen<\/strong> per person.<\/p>\n<p>However, please note that you are still required to pay a <strong>deductible (excess fee)<\/strong>.
